Writing an artist biography: Where to start

Writing a short author and/or artist biography is a pain, especially if you do not know where to start. Still, it is important in case if other people ever want to write about you. Ben Coleman shared a good place to start over at twitter:

[Name] is a [award winning/critically acclaimed] [job] based in [city, state]. They are the [job role] [of/behind/in] [best known thing], [favourite thing] and most recently [most recent thing]. [Fun little joke].

This structure is easy enough to follow, but it made me realise I need more things to put on this.
